bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
---------------------

CHANGES:

* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

FEATURES:

* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
(Lukáš Lalinský)

* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
(Aaron Bentley)

* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)

* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
